Experience with Horses

Outline your experience with horses here/the scope of your freelance services. If you’re looking for a non-equine or non- yard-based job please use this space to describe your experience skills/abilities and adapt the questions to suit your line of work.

I have previous experience of managing the day-to-day care of up to 32 horses, including full management of work-load, feeding regimes and management and rehab from illness and injury, including acting as emergency point of contact in a crises (for example equine or staff/client injury). I am confident and capable handling a range of horse from youngstock through to competition horses of all sizes. I am a UKCC L2 qualified coach and have experience coaching ranging from Pony Club/Riding through to riders competing at the higher end of grassroots level and show jumping up to 1.30m.

I am a confident and capable rider, comfortable with riding youngstock through to fit competition horses.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

Although I am capable of plaiting and turnout for competition, this is an area that I would like to brush up on.
